surf fishing trip to outer banks?
Posted by genglish on Jul 27, 2010
So me and some friends are thinking of taking a surf fishing trip to the outer banks area. It would be all guys and we would camp. Probably at the Oregon inlet campground or Ocracoke Island campground. We plan on around three days of fishing mainly from the beach but maybe fishing around some docks and mb from kayaks (i dont know how easily kayaks will be able to rent to take out into the ocean to fish on will be). Does anyone have any tips suggestions etc.? We plan on taking this sometime in July or August so hows the fishing?
I normally don’t answer questions like this but I noticed no one answered so I decided to help!
Ok, I recommend you stop by a live bait shop and get some shrimp, then go fishing at the jetty (the strip of land that goes into the ocean) and catch small fish. Then what you will do is use the small fish you catch with the shrimp as bait. It is really fun because you don’t no what you will catch, for example I caught a saltwater catfish and a shark once when I went fishing in Texas. So it is really a combination of fish that lead to the bigger fish!
If you don’t find a shop were they sell live shrimp, you should try using a casting net for minnows or small perch. But be careful not to get your net tangled in the rocks!
I hope I helped!
Im going saltwater fishing for the first time of my life, anybody go any tips?
Posted by genglish on Jul 27, 2010
ok I’ve seen videos on youtube, but there not actually going into detail about this stuff. I just need to know simple saltwater fishing tips,bait,fish.
Stay calm, watch what the others do ( the ones who know how to fish) and do what they do. When you need help, don’t be afraid to ask and have ‘em teach you. Seeing it on youtube is way different than real life. Whatever you do, don’t get squeamish unless your okay with being teased a bit. We’ve all been there so if it happens no sweat. I have to tell you this though, first time anglers, from my experience, have always caught the biggest fish. This is how you shut them up when the teasing starts. ; ) Last but not least, just learn what you can at your own pace and have a great day on the water. ~good luck catchin’
Great Fishing Spots and Hangouts in San Francisco
Posted by genglish on Jul 26, 2010
Fall-run salmon anglers line the banks of the Sacramento River to hook a chinook. Millions of chinook salmon spawns each year in the streams and tributaries that branch from the Sacramento River. While some people jams the Klamath and Trinity rivers in search of salmon, there are plenty of other options for anglers.
The Sacramento is the home to monster native rainbow trout, steelhead, white sturgeon, striped bass and American shad. If you’ve never fished for American shad, an introduced species in California, then you’re missing a great fishing experience. The anadromous fish are a great source of entertainment for sport anglers wanting a fish that is tenacious, yet fairly easy to hook. Striped bass or stripers, linesides or rocks are also an exotic and introduced species in California. You can expect best fishing throughout May.
But if you’re keen about salmon and wanted to avoid from the crowds on the Trinity and the Klamath, there are kokanee at Whiskeytown Lake and king salmon in Lake Shasta.
New sport fishing regulations were adopted to help protect white sturgeon, a prehistoric largest freshwater fish in North America. Anglers must buy a Sturgeon Fishing Report Card and the new regs tighten the bag limit to one fish a day with a season limit of three fish.

Fly Fishing Rods
Posted by genglish on Jul 26, 2010
One important part of fly fishing is the rod. A fishing rod or also called the fishing pole is always associated with the sport called angling. Choosing the right rod for your fly fishing experience is very important. The right combination of reel and rod also matters heavily as well.
There are several types of fishing rods to choose from but for fly fishing specifically, the rods are longer, thinner and more flexible. One reason why fly rods are meant to weigh light is because rods made like this are the only ones that can cast even the lightest fly. So, you have to realize that the overall characteristic of a fly rod should be lightweight. Also for casting, the line used works together with the weight of the rod, the weight of the line acts as a helper to how the rod is able to cast the fly.
Next, the material of a fly rod varies too. Most of the rods today are made of composite materials such as carbon and graphite, carbon and boron or fiberglass materials; a more innovative version compared to the original bamboo split material. As for the sizes, you have choices between the #0 sizes to the #16 ones. You’ll have to decide first what size of species you want to catch, the type of water condition where you’ll be fishing, the wind and of course the weight of the line before selecting the the type of rod.
The #0 rods are usually used for the smallest species from freshwater, while the #16 rods are for larger ones on saltwater seas. Also, in selecting the type of rod you want to use for fly fishing, familiarize first the parts of it because unlike other types of rod, fly rods don’t have the usual handle extending just right below the reel although there are rods that have very little handle too. The reason for this is to prevent from any casting interference.
These are the primary qualities you may want to take note of before getting yourself the fly rod you want. Don’t forget to make sure, above all else, that you are comfortable with the type of rod you will be using. Don’t get the extremely long rod if you can’t even handle it yourself.

How Many Cans of Tuna Fish Are Hazardous if Given to My Cat?
Posted by genglish on Jul 23, 2010
The cat loves tuna fish and I recall hearing that cans of tuna contain a trace of mercury and I was just wondering how many cans of tuna you can give a cat without being hazardous to their health. Thanks!
It’s got triple the amout of mercury cat food has. Cat food is regulated, so the amount in a tin of tuna is far too much to be healthy for them every day. Give it as an occasional treat, no more.
What can i catch surf fishing in Tampa FL?
Posted by genglish on Jul 23, 2010
Yesterday at around midnight i headed down to my beach on the gulf to do some fishin. I ended up catching two 35 inch black drum that tasted delicous. I was using squid as bait.
I plan going back out tonight with squid but was woundering what other types of fish you can catch while surf fishing in the tampa area, and what are the best ways to catch them.
I am talking about this time of year btw.
Fish you could catch?? Spanish Macs, Whiting, Sea Trout, Croaker, Sheephead, Redfish, Snook, Pompano, Sand Trout, Flounder, small Mangrove Snapper, Spadefish, small/medium Shark.
Fish you are likely to catch with dead/cut bait fished on the bottom- Croaker, Drum, Sheephead, Whiting, Hard Headed Cat, Sail Cat, Toad fish, Spots, Mangrove Snapper (in certain Inland areas).
although you can catch Redfish, Snook, Flounder, Sea Trout, and other gamefish with dead/cut bait they usually prefer live bait or lures.
find a local baitshop that carrys 4-5" Saltwater Minnows and or use live Shrimp around a jetty or inlet. The Bay can be a great fishing spot at the right tide.
